Steps

Method 1 of 2: Preparing to Mine

1

Craft an Iron Pickaxe or better so you can receive diamonds when you mine Diamond ore. In order to create an Iron Pickaxe, you will need 3 Iron Ingots and 2 Sticks.

2

Gather some food. Diamonds are found in the lowest levels of the game, so the journey will be a long one. You'll want to ensure that you have enough provisions to able to stay and mine for a good amount of time.

3

Bring some weapons. You'll be down in the deepest reaches of the Minecraft world, so you're sure to come across some nasty foes. Make sure you have some good armor and a trusty sword before heading out.

Method 2 of 2: Finding Diamonds

1

Dig straight down until you hit bedrock. This is the lowest you can go in the world, and will help you know how deep you are when you're mining. Diamond ore is typically found in layers 1-15, with the highest concentration around layer 8.

Some players like to start the mine around layer 11. This will result in a slightly smaller chance of finding diamonds, but you are less likely to tunnel directly into a lava pit this way.

It is recommended that you create a chest in the central room of your mine so that you have a place to store excess ore as you build the mine.[1]

3

Branch out. Dig a corridor 2 blocks high and at least 50 blocks long in each direction. These will be your starting branches. Walk down one of your corridors and start mining to the left and right every six blocks. This will maximize your efficiency the amount of blocks you can see as you mine.

4

Keep digging. Diamonds are extremely rare, especially in Minecraft PE[2], and occur in less than 1% of the blocks in the lower levels. Finding diamonds is more of a game of luck than anything else, and patience is the most important thing to have when mining for them.
